You know, it sure is interesting how Arthur never throws anything harder than a pillow or a generic insult at Merlin when Gwen is in the room. As far as I can remember, she’s never seen her best friend being actually struck or threatened by her romantic interest — almost as if Arthur/the writers are aware that abuse isn’t cute and Gwen would be measurably less interested in a man who treated her best friend like that 🤔

I do love that Gwaine ends up feeling somewhat out of time and out of place in the narrative he’s in purely bc of what he represents and who he is ideologically. Like the whole lovable rogue/handsome rake thing is really a much more early modern archetype, not medieval.

He provides juxtaposition for characters like Arthur and Lancelot bc of his lack of adherence to medieval masculine social norms; and because of his disillusionment. It’s easy to see him as “faithless” in comparison to their dedication to chivalry, but sometimes I think “faithless” isn’t really fair and it’s more that he refuses to put faith in institutions and in ideology and puts faith in individuals instead. Institutions and ideology he cannot trust or rely on, but people he can. And I don’t think this would be a problem for him if it weren’t for the fact that that mindset is so antithetical to the common medieval worldview.

In the end he ends up representing something almost countercultural. He’s a reaction to medieval ideology; and a vision of the future; more than anything else. But at the same time; he can’t exist without the context of what came before him. And I don’t think anyone working on the show intended like, even half of that, but that’s how it ended up and I’m glad for it

#good freaking take #gwaine honestly gets so little screentime/focus in the canon but really stands out #and it's (in part) because of this

The thing that gets me about Looking For Jobs is that every hiring site has like miles of just saying words at you that you have to scroll through. Talking about teamwork career building opportunities goals. Talking about "our mission" & it's a grocery store
